Aspartame apparently makes my guts ache...

    I was experiencing mild abdominal pain in the evenings and just on a whim, tried eliminating diet soda and other drinks sweetened with aspartame.

    I don't drink a lot of soda, but when I do, I tried Mexican Coca-cola sweetened with old fashioned cane sugar instead. --No more pain.

    But now I'm climbing the wall with cravings. Is aspartame addictive too?

    I drink aspartame heavily, you could just have an allergy.

    My GERD improved greatly when I eliminated artificial sweeteners. Splenda gives me a stomache ache. Aspertame didn't cause pains.

    aspartame gives me crazy headaches.

    realized it as a child and gave up diet soda.

    then all the chewing gum started going sugar free and aspartame was the sweetener, that gives me rot gut.

    aspartame is the devil. what is so evil about natural sugar?

    I experienced 12 years of extreme intestinal distress until I stopped using Equal. It took two weeks to clear up. It's important to note that I have no gall bladder. I can't tell you how many people I've met who had the same problem with Aspartame after their gall bladders were removed. I've used Splenda for several years with no problems. However I discovered in the process that MSG causes the same symptoms that Aspartame does.

    I consume only the purest, REAL cuban commie sugar, and real porcine animal fat, and a full dose of natural columbian mountain hand picked caffiene. If they don't all gang up and kill me, i'll live until i die:)

    There is much evidence that Aspartame is bad stuff. I read a book a while back called "Excitotoxins, the taste that kills" that was very interesting, for what it's worth.

    Sigh, and ...........can I just mention ......................you might want to look in to the FDA approval of Aspartame, and Donald Rumsfeld?
